  • Page 2: Categories According To Iec 61010-2-030:2010

    Think of measurement of: circuit breakers, wiring, junction boxes etc. This category is expecting to have a minimum of two levels of over current protection between the transformer and connection point of the measurement. (See Figure 1.1). HBM public...

  • Page 4 GN610, GN611 Isolation and type testing WARNING Measurement inputs of this instrument should not be used to measure high-energy signals of measurement categories CAT II, CAT III or CAT IV (IEC 61010-2-30:2010) (e.g. mains measurements) , unless specifically stated for the specific input. HBM public...
  • Page 5: Basic Versus Reinforced Insulation

    As one can see below basic insulation + supplementary insulation is a possibility but also reinforced isolation is a means of protection. The test voltages are different per means as can be found in the above table. HBM public...

  • Page 7: Isolation And Input Of The Gn610, Gn611

    Figure 2.1: Isolation 1kV card overview The isolation between channel and chassis is classified as REINFORCED. This can be seen as double isolation, which is necessary because the chassis might be accessible (conductive parts can be touched) to users (personal safety). HBM public...
  • Page 8 GN610, GN611 Isolation and type testing Isolation between channels is BASIC, since a channel is not accessible and there is therefore no direct risk for a user (product safety). REINFORCED or DOUBLE isolation has higher test values than BASIC isolation. HBM public...
  • Page 9: Channel To Chassis Isolation Test

    600 V CAT II REINFORCED, the test value for 1000 V RMS is lower and therefore also covered with this test. Tests are conducted for one minute, see IEC61010 for details. Figure 3.1: AC Type test Channel to Chassis HBM public...

  • Page 11: Channel To Channel Isolation Test

    The test value meets the requirements for 600 V CAT II REINFORCED, the value for 2000 V RMS BASIC is lower and therefore also covered with this test. Tests are conducted for one minute, see IEC61010-1 for details. Figure 3.3: DC Type test Channel to Channel HBM public...

  • Page 13: High Potential Test

    The inputs of channel 2, 4 and 6 are tested using a 1500 V RMS common mode signal with ground attached to chassis ground and the inputs of channel 1, 3 and 5 all connected to chassis ground. Figure 4.1: Hipot testing channels 1, 3 and 5 HBM public...

  • Page 15 GN610, GN611 Isolation and type testing 5 Engineering tests Overview Besides the type tests and the production tests, HBM has also performed several engineering tests to verify the robustness of the design during the engineering design qualification phase. Component tests Every component crossing the isolation barrier is tested and/or examined to make sure it will pass the type test.
  • Page 16 This test is done with the highest input range (± 1000 V) and also repeated with the lowest input range (± 20 mV), both with an input voltage of 1000 V and repeated for over 1000 times. These tests all passed successfully. Figure 5.2: Engineering test input switching HBM public...

    Secondly, within the lower ranges of the amplifier (≤ ± 5 V ranges) the input section will start switching to disconnect from the input signal to reduce the power dissipated. HBM public...

  • Page 20 So the actual overload condition might not have disappeared yet. If this would be the case, the thermal increase would re-trigger the automatic range adaption process and the overload is handled exactly the same way as before. HBM public...
  • Page 21 In case the overload condition is permanent, the system keeps on automatic ranging to reduce the dissipated heat, then restores the user selected range with the effect of overheating again therefore restarting the automatic ranging process again. This cycle will repeat forever until the overload condition disappears. HBM public...
